As a diver addict you will like to have your own scuba gear but all the necessary diving equipment can cost you around US $1000 or more. We recommend that you start slow, so let's just see what you must have.
Mask/Snorkel, Diving Fins and a Wet Suit for warm water (Dry Suits are expensive, we recommend to rent dry suits at the beginning). These gear are basic, you can bring them on your vacation, and you can also use it for Snorkeling.
A dive computer is very important; they measure the time and depth of dives to calculate a safe ascent. Making your dives more simple and safe. Never rely on your partner's computer to calculate your decompression, use your own computer or use diving planners.
A descent underwater camera for your diving memories; if you have already a digital camera there is a big chance that there is a case for it, so start your research and choose the one you like.
Before you spend crazy money on the rest of your diving gear your next step will be to get more dives and become a better diver.
The are some diving companies that have a different price on diving excursions depending if you have your on diving equipment (BCD, Regulator , Mask, etc.), so as a final step start buying your BCD, Regulator and other accessories including a diving bag to travel with all your gear.
